over San Antonio's way OF managing

MO shows signs Of shaking off her slug

to stand still and see the procession pass
by when San Antonio puts on her seven
league boots and humps herself San

THE recent visit OF the car to Berlin
has had one good effect. Ii has given the
car to understand that he has been mis-
led as to the policy Of Germany, or at
least as to the animus Of the feeling in
Germany for the Russian ruler, and this
disabusiDg OF his mind will render him
more pacific II nothing else. The secret
and complex means by which Bismark' 3
papers and letters have been made to
answer the purpose OF deceiviDg the
car into an impression Of German hos
tility, not really existing, are
not fully known, but the work
is laid at the door OF the
Orleans princess. The result Of the dis
cOvery OF these forgeries will be TO
make Russis less beligerent towards
Germany, but cannot affect the policy OF
Germany towards Russian occupation
Of Bulgaria. AS another result OF the
understanding concerning the late mis-
understanding, the car has counter
msnded the order for concentration OF
troops iD Poland.

wabash Tickets In Litigation.

ST. Louis, Jan. 28-Rallway passenger
ticket scalpers selling in this city large num-
bers of the old issue of Wabash tickets. over
which there will be deal of litigation before it
is finally decided whether they are worthless or
not. The tickets are those issued when Scion
Humphreys was president of the Wabash, and
put out in large blocks during the war on rates
incident to the entrance Of the Wabash into
Chicago, and afterward repudiated under the
receivershp of Humphreys & Tut. large
number of the tickets are held by st. Louis
brokers, who now claim that they can be used
on the ground that the tickets were a legitimate
purchase and a prior lien upon the Wabash.
They were repudiated upon the ground that they
were issued by the original Wabash company,
which has nothing to levy upon to compel their
redemption The brokers will ask Judge
Gresham to decide whether or not they can be
now used.
